Thanks.  This is certainly what I have heard, but wondered if the stats bear 
it out.   Plus, if his teammates see him as out of control, that certainly 
would have an adverse impact on that ephemeral chemistry part of the game, 
especially a team game with so few folks.  Ignore your 11th and 12th guys, 
and suddenly 10% of your tam is wacko?  Not good, Mr. Wallace!
